Title 42, Section 1983 of the U.S. Code provides a powerful tool for people who believe their civil rights have been violated by the police or a government authority. It allows the victims of police brutality, taser injuries or death, racial profiling, and voting rights discrimination to sue for financial damages.
The police and other governmental authorities are granted great power to enforce the laws of this country; when they violate the laws they are sworn to protect, a unique injury is done to all citizens. The particular responsibility rests with those suffering the actual harm to hold those in power accountable and we take seriously the responsibility to represent those injured, in a court of law.
By taking action against those in power, victims can achieve justice and send a message to police and governmental authorities that discrimination and brutality will not be tolerated — and it is too costly for them to continue to inflict harm on others.
